First time landlord? David Kneebone, General Manager of Lodge City Rentals, shares his advice on stepping onto the property investment ladder.

With the financial year ending on 31 March, at Lodge City Rentals we certainly closed out the year with a bang. Last month saw record numbers of tenant enquiries come through – 3,795 to be exact – from those looking for their next home. This certainly bodes well for both our experienced landlords as well as those new investors coming on board with Lodge as they start their investment property portfolios.

Here at Lodge City Rentals, February saw a continuation of the market buoyancy we experienced in January, with our team certainly putting in the hard work:

February often marks the ‘real’ start of the year, as people settle into routine, schools return and we get stuck into work following the long weekends. After high enquiry numbers in January, with our team fielding 3,970 tenant enquiries, February remains steady so far as Hamilton continues to experience growth as a city.

 

At Lodge City Rentals we’re certainly keeping busy in the lead up to the end of 2020. The real estate and rental markets remain buoyant, with high numbers of enquiries coming through to our offices.
